Use the Community API to query tags Edited

Aug 1, 2017

Let's talk about Tags

There are over 16k tags on the Community. You can view the most popular tags here.

To query posts by tags we can use the public Community API v2. The examples below only work for public posts, not posts in private boards. These are anonymous requests and can access data available to users who are not signed into the Community.

Using the API

Here is the foundation of our API request:

Next, we're going to use a special query language to find our content.

LiQL, a SQL-like query language. Use a LiQL statement to define search criteria for any complex query.

It looks a bit ugly. Your computer shouldn't care! Okay, you're right. You can use a browser extension or another tool.. but we can make it look better in the browser without all that. Add this to the URL.
